Chapter 125 Dvalin
Chapter 125 Dvalin
I was running the Star Iron main storyline yesterday, which is why I didn't update. Sorry.
------
Even though the seven-day statue would respond to his touch, he himself rejected the elemental power.
This contradictory phenomenon left Lin Qiong somewhat bewildered.
"strangeness......"
Paimon let out a soft exclamation and came to Lin Qiong's side, hovering erratically around him, seemingly also trying to find the answer to this question.
He looked Lin Qiong up and down and said, "Normally, it is the elemental forces of this world that repel others, but I didn't expect you to reject them instead. That's strange."
Everything that has happened in the past two days has completely overturned Paimon's understanding.
First, the large iron box fell from the sky without warning, and then the people who crawled out of it claimed that they were "visitors from outer space".
Now, even more unbelievably, Lin Qiong has actually refused the elemental power of this world, a power that ordinary people can never reach in their entire lives.
This series of strange events filled Paimon's little head with countless questions.
Lin Qiong was also frustrated at this moment. He helplessly spread his hands and replied, "I don't want to refuse either, but it seems that this is not something I can control."
after all.
Having more power means having more means, and who would complain about having too many abilities?
"Hey! I don't believe it!"
Lin Qiong refused to believe it and reached out his hand towards the Seven Gods statue once again, his eyes flashing with an indomitable light.
He intends to find out why his body is actively rejecting elemental forces.
Just as he was repeating the steps he had just taken, preparing to touch the statue with his hand.
A long-lost voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
[Ding! We advise the host not to make any futile attempts.]
The cold, synthesized electronic voice echoed directly in Lin Qiong's brain, causing his outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air.
"System?" Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, and asked in his mind, "Is it you?"
Except when he acquires a new destiny, the system rarely appears on its own initiative; its presence or absence makes little difference.
But now, when Lin Qiong tried to resonate with elemental power, the system took the initiative to stop him, which surprised him.
[Ding! Yes, host.]
This concise answer, delivered in a voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, was like that of a machine focused on executing predetermined commands.
But Lin Qiong was already used to this, and instead focused his attention on the system's voice stopping his actions.
"So...why are you stopping me from resonating with elemental power?"
Lin Qiong asked the system in his mind, intending to find out why he was rejecting elemental forces.
[Ding! The host's internal energy source will actively reject all incompatible external energy.]
"...Energy source?" Lin Qiong repeated thoughtfully, then confirmed with the system, "Is it a star core?"
however.
When he raised this question.
As usual, the system failed to respond to certain key questions, instead leaving Lin Qiong with the message: 【Ding! Please explore on your own, host.】
Lin Qiong was speechless upon hearing the system's familiar reply.
But this also confirmed his idea that the energy source the system mentioned should refer to the two "star cores" in his body.
"Alright, let me ask another question. Xing also has that so-called energy source within her body, so why can she resonate with elemental forces?"
Lin Qiong knew that continuing to ask questions would only result in the same answer, so he decided to change his approach and try to ask the system a new question.
however.
Just when Lin Qiong thought the system would remain silent as before and not respond at all...
The system's voice unexpectedly sounded again: [Ding! Compared to the host, the energy source within her body is purer and more stable.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong immediately turned to look at Xing, who was playing with the water slime using wind element, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Just then.
Walter Young coughed lightly, pulling Lin Qiong back from his reverie.
"It's getting late, let's head to Mondstadt first."
He looked up at the sky and saw the midday sun hanging high above the azure sky, its rays intense and dazzling.
"If we don't hurry, I'm afraid..."
But before Walter Young could finish speaking, a huge shadow suddenly covered the sky above everyone's heads.
Paimon pointed to the sky in astonishment and exclaimed, "Hey! Look, what's that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky and saw a huge flying creature slowly passing overhead.
Its enormous wings flapped through the air, creating powerful gusts that instantly shattered the surrounding clouds.
The blue scales shimmered with a jewel-like luster under the sunlight.
"That's...Dvalin?"
Lin Qiong stared intently at the enormous creature, which was slowly descending towards the forest ahead.
If he remembered correctly, that forest was where he first met Wendy.
at the same time.
Lin Qiong suddenly recalled the bottle of wine he had asked Pam for before leaving, and a pleasant smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
So he pointed in the direction where Dvarin had landed and suggested to his companion, "That big guy seems to have landed in the forest ahead. Should we go after him and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon quickly hid behind Ying, peeking out half his head, and asked timidly, "This...isn't this a bad idea? What if it suddenly attacks us?"
"It's alright." Lin Qiong looked at Paimon and smiled reassuringly. "If a fight really breaks out, that guy is no match for us."
The voice just fell.
Suddenly, Xing mobilized the power of the wind element, releasing a strong airflow that instantly blew the water slime in front of him away.
After finishing this task, she patted non-existent dust off her hands and turned to Lin Qiong to agree with him: "Yes, we've also beaten up a doomsday beast that was dozens of times bigger than that guy."
"Apocalypse...beast?" Paimon scratched his head, his face full of confusion. "What is that?"
Just as Xing was about to explain for Paimon, Lin Qiong interrupted, saying, "I'll explain it to you later."
"Let's go check it out first. If we go too late, the big guy might not be there anymore."
After saying that, Lin Qiong tried to use his body heat to freeze a piece of ice on the surface of Starfall Lake.
Perhaps because the elemental energy in Teyvat is exceptionally abundant, the ice surface condensed much faster this time compared to the time in the Scaled Abyss.
In just a few seconds, he was able to freeze a large area of lake water into a solid ice surface.
"Can water really be frozen into ice without relying on elemental power?"
Paimon stared at Lin Qiong in surprise, his mouth agape in a round "O" shape.
"How did you do that?"
